Chapter 8 Black Cat

"Is this... the dormitory arranged by the company?"

"Isn't it a bit too luxurious?"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment as he looked at the three-story, exquisitely decorated Victorian-style townhouse in front of him.

This was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

Moreover, this house is not one of those row houses where several buildings are connected together.

There was only one house connected to it, and that house had been abandoned for a long time; even the door frame had fallen off.

It looks like a haunted house...

But the location here is still excellent, right in the city center. Just turn right and walk about 50 meters to reach the central fountain square of Beltorion.

It's located on the edge of the city center CBD.

Absolutely prime location.

I just don't know why no one lives next door, and the house is even abandoned.

But all in all, I don't have to worry about disturbing the neighbors.

Without thinking too much, Li Wei took out his key and went into the room.

As far as the eye can see, all the furniture is there, including sofas, fireplaces, chairs, and more. You can also see part of the second-floor renovation directly.

At first glance, the first floor is the living room, the second floor is the kitchen and dining area, and the third floor is probably the bedroom and study.

Moreover, it looks like it has been cleaned in advance, so you don't have to clean it yourself.

Seeing these things made Li Wei feel much better.

Thinking about what I've been through today, a feeling of exhaustion washes over me.

The last time I felt this tired was after organizing the funeral for my mother, who tragically died due to the swamp phenomenon.

He was raised by a single-parent family and was completely orphaned when he was only eight years old.

Fortunately, the priest of the Radiant Church in town adopted him and sent him to a boarding school run by the church, where he received a monthly allowance of more than the average living expenses.

This relationship lasted until adulthood.

Unfortunately, before Levi could graduate from the University of Michigan and find a job to repay the old priest, he also passed away one winter.

However, the old priest, being a first-level superhuman, did not have much difference in lifespan compared to ordinary people.

"Why……"

Perhaps it's because people tend to reminisce about the past when they're feeling lost. Li Wei sighed wistfully, then hung his coat on the coat rack by the door and headed straight for the third floor.

After pushing open the door to his study, he discovered that the window in the third-floor study was open!

On the desk in the study lay a black cat covered in wounds, with one of its front legs dangling unnaturally.

Its blood flowed onto the solid wood desk and then dripped onto the floor, reflecting a blinding light in the twilight.

Li Wei subconsciously looked out the window and saw a roadside tree directly opposite it.

Did they jump down from this tree?

Without thinking too much, Li Wei stepped forward, wondering what he should do.

Although he likes cats, he is also very self-aware that keeping a pet is obviously not a responsible thing to do when he can't even manage his own life.

The main issue is that he has indeed raised and killed quite a few small animals.

From dogs to hamsters to turtles and rabbits, the variety of animals that died under his care was quite extensive.

The only thing missing is a cat.

However, it seems that this gap needs to be filled now.

But as if sensing someone approaching, or perhaps feeling a murderous aura creeping in from the shadows, the black cat, which had been keeping its eyes closed and its chest heaving violently, suddenly opened its eyes, raised its head, and glared fiercely at Li Wei.

Moreover, its arched back clearly indicated that it was somewhat stressed.

"Calm down, calm down. I won't hurt you."

"Although I don't know what I can do."

Li Wei silently took a few steps back, then muttered to himself.

He really didn't know what he could do.

Suddenly, he remembered the things his mentor Albert had given him before he left.

Then, he turned around, opened the suitcase he had placed on the ground, and took out a brown leather box from it.

"I almost forgot about that."

"This old man has been stingy for so many years, and he's still just as stingy after graduation."

"There really are only two bottles of healing potions, and they're even basic ones... These things don't cost much to buy outside."

"But if it can be used on humans, it can probably be used on cats too, right? Wounds are pretty much the same anyway."

"But how much is appropriate?"

Li Wei picked up a bottle of healing potion and examined the potion, which was contained in a spherical bottle and emitted a faint golden-red glow.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Li Wei decided to use them all.

It's not a lot of money anyway.

It's at most the cost of two meals, so I'll just use it.

Surprisingly, after seeing Li Wei take out the healing potion, the black cat quieted down, obediently lay down on the table, and even opened its mouth.

"...Isn't your cat a little too smart?"

Li Wei muttered a complaint under his breath, then opened the bottle, gently held the black cat's chin with one hand, lifted it up a little, and carefully poured the medicine into the cat's mouth.

The cat was very cooperative throughout the entire process and didn't cause any trouble.

Even when Li Wei secretly stroked the cat's head, it didn't resist.

Soon, in less than a minute, half a bottle of the treatment medicine was gone, and the cat's belly was noticeably swollen.

Seeing that it seemed to be almost done, Li Wei stopped administering the medicine, then took a handkerchief, poured the medicine on it, and gently wiped the black cat's wounds.

Yes, this medicine can be used both internally and externally.

Even when the wound was touched directly, the black cat only bared its teeth, but did not attack or violently resist; it was unusually docile.

This is somewhat different from the cat Li Wei had in mind.

Before long, the bottle of medicine was used up, and the black cat had fallen asleep at some point.

The cat's wounds have mostly healed and are starting to scab over.

The drooping front leg began to twitch, as if it were gradually getting better.

"It seems that cats can use it too if it works for humans. And the effect is much better."

Li Wei chuckled and then began cleaning up the bloodstains on the table and floor.

After finishing his work, he took out the three white papers.

Finally, after some deliberation, I chose "The Complete Guide to Basic Extraordinary Knowledge".

Before learning any new skills, it's definitely best to familiarize yourself with the basics first.

As he turned to the first page of the book, his control panel began to move.

[Resolvable knowledge detected, loading resources...]

[The "Comprehensive Explanation of Fundamental and Extraordinary Knowledge" has finished loading. Difficulty level: Easy. Progress: 1% (estimated completion in one hour)]

Li Wei could no longer hear the notification sounds coming from the panel.

The moment he opened the book, his attention was instantly and forcibly focused on the content within his sight.

Like seawater rushing in, the contents of the book were quickly absorbed into his brain, allowing him to understand and remember the knowledge in an instant.
